Hey guys!
So, I decided to make a grappling character (I know, I'm a fool), but I'm having some trouble calculating the damage that I deal.
Here is what I do: I have a +8 on STR, a total of +16 to grapple, I have the ability to constrict (1d4+8) and the improved grab ability.
My unarmed damage is 1d4 + 8
I have a sharkskin armor that has pretty much Armor Spikes dealing 1d6 damage
I also have the Spike Stones Graft that deals an additional 2d4 on a successful grapple and 1d4 on my unarmed strikes.
So, correct me if I'm wrong, my damage is as follows:
Melee unarmed attack: 2d4+1d6+8
Grapple: 1d4+8 (Constrict) + 1d6 (Armor Spikes) + 2d4 (Spike Stones)
Is this right? Do I add more than only +8 STR? Is this my total damage if I hit and succeed on a grapple check? When exactly do I apply this damage? Right after the grapple or only on the following turn, if I manage to suceed the grapple again?
